The Cantino Planisphere made in 1502 by the Portugeuse. Brilliant to see how far our horizons had broadened.

Earl made a single expedition into modern day NorthEast Canada and that's it. It's doubtful that even met more than 5 tribes.

The same reason most African countries collapse into civil war. Their leader was an authoritarian shithead who was more concerned with enriching his bank account and playing the tribes off each other than with actually leading his people.

Also, post rare Operation Restore Hopes

>They were known as the "Switzerland" and even settled disputes across Africa.
u wot m8

They actively sponsored terrorist groups in Kenya and Ethiopia, squandered all their foreign aid on weapons for a (failed) war with Ethiopia, and managed to piss off the Soviets so badly that they launched the largest airlift effort they'd conducted since the Second World War to help Ethiopia slap their shit.

They're practically the antithesis of Switzerland.

Was that from the Ogaden War?

Because Aquitaine was holding off the Moslems just fine until Martel stabbed them in the back, and then he stepped in to "solve" the problem he created himself.

Not to mention the real war between Christianity and Islam was going on in Byzantium, not France. Thinking Tours or Martel is important beyond the rise of the Carolingian dynasty is the ultimate sign of a military history pleb, or worse, a Creasy fan.

Because parisians enforce new trends with strict brutality and Paris is inhabited by mostly spoiled and pampered faggots who diddle themeselves in café de la Femme Rouge Écoute or some gay shit to tumblr traps and modern art "museums."

the French since the Enlightenment (at least; maybe someone else knows more about medieval French intellectual culture) have always been the more impressionistic, utopian types among the three core Western/Central European philosophy powerhouses (Britain, France, Germany). their middle class was also the first to emerge basically of its own will and desire to reorganize society to accommodate their very existence, an idea that then spread globally. it makes sense that that culture would later produce an episteme based on the notion of ideas forming society in their image.

you could also assess it negatively (as in a negative image) and look at why Germans and Britons and Americans didn't. Germans were excessive empiricists after the war 'cause their idealism had led them to be out of control asshole nationalists, and the British and American middle classes were incredibly economically secure through the '50s and '60s, leaving few academics (typically drawn from the middle class) incredibly resistant to the prevailing order of things. the French middle class was incredibly culturally humiliated and economically dejected after the war.

because france is shit

Or maybe go outside and spend time in nature.

Fishing in the rural parts of my state helps take my mind off the cesspool that I have to live in for 10 months of every year.
